Global Sources supports the communities where it operates both through the involvement of our team members and through financial support.
Our efforts have made a positive and sustainable impact on the lives of people in developing countries across Asia. Some of these efforts include Export Service Centre the charity program Care & Share and Digital Divide Data.

Export Service Centre – facilitating export and job creation in developing Asia

Global Sources works in close partnership with the Export Service Centre to help create jobs in developing Asia via 'Aid through Trade.'
At Export Service Centre, a strictly non-profit organization, the primary mission is to source and design the finest Indonesian home décor, gifts and jewelry items, to provide product order facilitation and to ensure timely order fulfillment, all to the buyers' total satisfaction.
Additional support includes marketing and management expertise, and complete export marketing. Please visit http://www.exportservicecentre.com to learn more about Export Service Centre.

Care & Share program – donating products to people in need

Global Sources and Crossroads International created the Care & Share charity program in 2006. After each China Sourcing Fair, exhibitors donate truckloads of trade show display samples to people in need.
Non-profit Crossroads International distributes the items to people affected by disaster, conflict and poverty around the world. Donated samples include toys, stationery, housewares, furniture and playground equipment.

Digital Divide Data – providing social, human & economic development in Cambodia & Laos

Digital Divide Data is more than just a data processing company. It is a non-profit social venture that aims to use technology to improve lives of some of the world's least developed nations. It is breaking new ground by bringing well-paid technology jobs to countries where they didn't previously exist and to groups who struggle just to survive.
Founded in 2001, DDD opened its first facility in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Now it has nearly 100 workers throughout three offices across Cambodia and Laos, and has served dozens of clients around the world. Most of DDD's employees come from some of Cambodia's most disadvantaged groups – such as the disabled, land mine victims and women.
